My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Just after turning on the screen of the mobile phone and saying a few words, his voice suddenly rose a few octaves. “Mr. Ellison?” 

“Mr. Ellison?” Everyone was surprised to hear the name. 

Only Mr. Riddle Sr. and Damien had access to Mr. Ellison usually. Surprisingly, Mr. Ellison was calling Sean now. But no one dared to ask, only trying to listen in to what he was saying. 

Sean stopped in his tracks and looked back at everyone, finally his gaze landing on Nicole. “Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Ellison.” 

Everyone then looked over at Nicole in curiosity. Nicole took a sip of water and did not look surprised. 

As soon as Sean hung up the phone, Gloria was the first to ask, “Sean, how did you get Mr. Ellison’s phone number?” 

Sean regained his composure and sat back down at the table. “I don’t know Mr. Ellison’s phone number. It was he who called me.” 

“What did Mr. Ellison say?” Mr. Riddle Sr. asked in a deep voice. 

Sean looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. respectfully. “He asked Nicole to report to the high school of Royal Creek Institute tomorrow and said that he was glad to have Nicole coming to Royal Creek Institute.” 

Sean was looking at Nicole with a hint of disbelief in his eyes when he said the last sentence. 

While everyone was scratching their heads and in a heated debate about how to get Nicole into Royal Creek Institute, the unthinkable happened with Mr. Ellison calling and saying that he was happy that Nicole was going to Royal Creek Institute. 

Karen could not be more surprised. “Sean, did you hear it correctly? Mr. Ellison invited Nicole to the high school of Royal Creek Institute?” 

She had just denigrated and satirized Nicole because she did not want Nicole to enter Royal Creek Institute. Yet, she did not expect that Mr. Ellison’s call would be a slap in the face. 

But Nicole was just a country girl. What made Mr. Ellison extend his invitation to her? 

Ignoring Karen’s expression, Gloria turned to look at Nicole. “You know Mr. Ellison?” 

She did not even believe her own question. But Mr. Ellison had said that he was glad to have Nicole studying at Royal Creek Institute. So he and Nicole must know each other. 

Nicole did not hide the truth, saying, “We met once in Great Oak.” 

It was only a brief encounter, but if not for Nicole’s help, Mr. Ellison would have died from a car explosion.
